Which 2n1 kit? I might have an extra body for it.

And it's not laziness, just takes a lot of time

 

64 impala

 

went out and looked at it and it wasnt as bad as i remembered. looked thru some cans and found a clear coat, threw on a couple layers and it looks much better. the hood was most fucked up. just got done sanding and priming it. looks better.

now back to the Caddy -

 

There is a seam line that was visible along the top of the front seat. I researched on the web for Cadillac front seats and this seam was never there, so I decided to sand it off, then primer.

the base coat is Rustoleum brown

 

I want a leather look to the interior. This will be my first attempt at leather in any scale

Last time I built one I used the Airbrush in a can, and shit came out super nice. Worth a try if you're using rattle cans.

 

This thread inspires me every time.

 

. . .

 

I've seen those at the store but never tried using them. Can you regulate the pressure and width of spray? I might have to look into acquiring some of these.

Got any pictures to post of your models?

No pictures unfortunately. Last one I built and took pictures of I posted. It was the 2001 Yamaha R1 and anything other than that is eithr unfinished or in my mind for the time being.

 

I don't know how you're going to pull off the leather look, but I'd like to see it when it's done..

I want the seats to look like brown leather with a worn but re-conditioned look.

Started with a Rustoleum base coat brown

Then with Model Master Leather, I sketched random lines with a fine brush tip with thinned color on the tip

Then followed by the same treatment with Model Master Military Brown in the same sketchy line patterns.

Final pass with a dry brush over all with Pactra Khaki
